Strange system behavior and network packets...
Hello, This is sort of a debian question... I have a small lan at my home with two debian systems and a win98 connected to the Internet via a IDSL Efficient Networks SpeedStream router. The strange behavior is my win98 system powered-on all by itself while I was in the room (at 2AM). I was puzzled by this behavior and noticed that the bios was set to power-on from a modem signal. I disabled this signal and shut the system down. I noticed some network activity on the router with only a single debian system active on the network. After shutting down this system, I still noticed the network lights flashing from time to time. The next day I rebooted the debian system and tried a tcpdump to identify the network activity. Here is a typical printout of the offending packets: 19:30:39.258584 0:20:6f:e:bb:96 > 1:80:c2:0:0:0 802.1d ui/C >>> Unknown IPX Data: (43 bytes) [000] 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 20 6F 0E BB 96 00 00 00 o.. [010] 00 80 00 00 20 6F 0E BB 96 00 00 00 00 14 00 02 o.. [020] 00 0F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... len=43 Does anybody know how to decipher this output? The typical TCP/IP packet outputs are pretty easy to figure out. (NOTE: As far as I know none of my systems use IPX) Is there a way to tell if this is coming from outside my LAN or is it some strange behavior of my router? I am wondering if this could be some type of hack attack on my systems. Thanks for your time! Doug Thistlethwaite
What is causing the segmentation fault?
I think my biggest problem with this is the segmentation fault I get every time I try to use the 'passwd' or 'su' commands. Does anybody know if this is caused by PAM, or are these commands corrupted? If I need to replace them, how do I go about doing this? Doug Doug Thistlethwaite wrote: Hello Help!

Segmentation Fault Help!
Help! It seems that I really screwed my system up when I allowed dselect to update packages on my potato system. I am having a problem with segmentation faults for the following commands: su login passwd Because of this, I am not able to login any other processes (virtual terminals) nor will my xserver run... Currently the only access I have to this system is via the single shell I had logged in to do the 'dselect' and samba services are still working so my PC look in my home directory. I am still able to use dselect to load packages from the internet. In my work with HP-UX, segmentation faults were generally caused by incompatible binaries trying to execute on the system. Is this the case with linux? How do I tell which version I should have? If these files really need to be updated how do I go about this? I was playing around with telling dselect to remove passwd, but it wanted to remove a whole bunch of stuff and it said this was not a good idea. I am totally stuck and as murphy would have it, I have some database work that needs the postgresql on the linux system... Of course, postgresql will not start up because of the corrupt 'su' command. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Doug
Re: Segmentation Fault Help! 2nd call!
I hope somebody has an idea on what to do with my system. I am at a lost on what to do except to remove and re-install the packages which have the bad programs in. I get major warnings against doing this by dselect so I am holding off until I can get some more information on the implementations of doing this. Please help! Doug Doug Thistlethwaite wrote: Help!

Re: Help!!! - Potato upgrade using dselect trashed computer...
In the dselect list I see passwd19990827-7 shadowI do not see a package called shadow. I am getting my debian from ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free There is not a package called pam-apps on the list. Do you think the segmentation faults I get with passwd, su, and login is caused by pam or is a problem with the version of the commands?

Re: Help!!! - Potato upgrade using dselect trashed computer...
Ben, Out of despration, I tried the lines below instead of the ones you gave me. Lines you had me use: auth required pam_unix_auth.so account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so session required pam_unix_session.so Lines taken from the other.dpkg-dist auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so I can now login under a virtual terminal so I am going to try rebooting to see if that clears the xserver. What does the difference between what you gave me and what seems to work? Am I missing some files? Doug

Re: Help!!! - Potato upgrade using dselect trashed computer...
Ben, I could not find pam-apps at all using dselect. While I was there, I removed all obsolete packages (there were several, and this did not have any other affects). dselect did want to install several other packages but this did not help either. I am not sure why my system ended up with shadow passwords and such. Prior to this problem, I was running potato fine without it and dselect seemed to decide on its own to install these extra packages. Is there a way to get back to where I was?

Re: Problems with the samba update
Peter, I had a similar problem when I updated my samba to Potato. In my case, it was because I had a installed Samba on a older version of debian and I used the easiest shortcut on my inital setup. The solution to my problem was to remove the samba password file and re-enter my users passwords into it. This fixed the problem for me. Good Luck, Doug peter karlsson wrote: Hi! A recent samba update (in potato) rendered all my shares non-functional.

postgresql and jdk1.2

I have been going around and around with it without any luck. I get to the point of trying to connect, but the passwords do not authenticate. For starters, I am using the example.basic that is included with the jdbc driver for 1.2. If some one has this working with a debian potato system, I would like to hear from you. I have been working with the author of the jdbc driver and he is about to throw up his hands as the drivers works with other linux variations. I loaded my postgresql 6.5 from the slink archive deb files. Thanks, Doug
Re: samba password changes after potato upgrade
Thanks for the information! The smbclient is in its own package. I fixed my samba installation by re-creating the password file for samba. I think that the problem was that when I first installed samba, I did not use a separate password file (I don't even remember if it was an option at that time).

Re: samba password changes after potato upgrade
Thanks for the information James, My first instalation was using plain text passwords. The latest version didn't transfer that setting from my old config.

3rd Call for help - Lost network card after Potato Upgrade
Hello, I hope someone can help me with this.

I removed the old libg++272 (I think that was its name) and gcc seemed to install fine. The error messages during the configureation of setserial said that my modules needed to be updated and to run update-module force and run configure again.

Re: 3rd Call for help - Lost network card after Potato Upgrade
Thanks for the reply Jim! I have a standard NE2000 card (cheap one I got for about $20). Everything was working fine until my last moves that I described below.

Re: 3rd Call for help - Lost network card after Potato Upgrade
Ok, I went into modconf and select net and ne. It said that this module was currently installed on my system. It gave me two choices, Exit or Remove the module from the kernel. Where do I specify the io-0x300? I do not see anywhere in the modconf that allows me to edit anything. Doug Jim wrote: The easiest way for us to fix this would be by running modconf. Hopefully nothing else is broken (which we'll find out soon). As root, run: modconf Then go to net and then ne and enable the module for your card. The reason you aren't detecting the card? modprobe will generally only detect PCI cards, unless you tell it the address to search. In your case, your card's address is 0x300 and you will need to specify this as one of the options in modconf. You will need to use: io=0x300 as a command-line option for the module.

Help! Mr. Potato killed my networking!
Help! I upgraded to potato a few days ago using dselect and I have been having problems. Here is the latest one (and worse one to date!) After the upgrade, I had two problems that dselect couldn't fix itself. #1 the gcc deb file would not load because of a conflicht with an old libg++. #2 setserial would not configure. Well, I found out via this list that I needed to remove the old libg++ deb to allow the gcc to install... No problem I think... The failure in the dselect config that referenced the setserial said that the modules needed to be rebuilt and to type update-modules force. Well, I did this and the setserial is now happy, Unfortunately, my system has lost all communications with the network! I am not sure the setserial did it, but it happend the first reboot after I did the two above changes to my system. I looked in my /var/log/kern.log file and found these differences before and after the reboot. The last line in this file has the line date systemname kernel: ne.c No PCI cards found. use io=0xNNN values for ISA cards.

Re: gcc problem after potato upgrade
Thanks for the quick reply! I guess this means that dselect didn't mark the new version of the libg++ for installation. I assume that I should select the latest version libg++2.8.2-glibc2.1-2.91.66-2.deb and that should allow gcc to install correctly.

Re: Changing IP address
Dan Willard wrote: You are correct that your ISP is clueless. Going by the numbers that you sent, your home network and theirs are one network with the same network number and broadcast number. And why your router calls out whenever a broadcast packet is sent. Dan, Thanks for the information. I was kind of thinking that they had a problem with what they gave me. (see below). Now, provided that the numbers for your range are correct, your linux box is trying to take the broadcast number for your home network. And yes, the first number in a range is the network number (even) and the last is the broadcast number (odd), your reasoning looks good to me. Gonna take a little work to straighten it out. You should call your ISP and varify your home network numbers. Yell at 'em if they give you a wrong subnet, its a major security hole for both you and them. (Unless you are using your office's network, then different rules apply). Both your win95 and linux boxes need the same subnetmask number. You'll need to change you linux box's ip to something other than 103 (100 looks good). You should also change your router's subnet to match (204.178.54.101/29 if the router doen't like it try /21, some routers drop the first 8 bits) and change its network and broadcast numbers. You will also probably have to change the route in the router to point to the new network. I hope I haven't forgoten anything. Now, don't you just love computers and networks? Humm Basically, my ISP gave me three IP addresses (I had to twist his arm as normally he changes A LOT more for static IP addresses. I have .101, .102, and .103 on his network with .253 being his system. His suggestion is to use 255.255.255.0 for the netmask, with .0 for the network and .255 for the broadcast address. I have asked him a few question on this issue and I think he is already getting tired of me! :O Oh, one more piece of information If I pull the power on my router, my pc can't connect to the samba on the linux at all! I have the feeling that if I push to much, I am going to become a internet orphan again. In my location, I am having a very hard time trying to get ISDN service within my local calling area. I am basically waiting for DSL to arrive later this summer. This said... Is there any way for me to use the three IP addresses they assigned to me? I know the router (pipeline 50) has some fancy features and maybe they can help. I tried the following this morning after your last message. IPADDR .103 NETMASK 255.255.255.240 NETWORK=.96 BROADCAST= .111 GATEWAY= .101 on my linux system. The thought was that I could use 4 bits to define my network (FF.FF.FF.F0) and with the number 101, 102, 103, it would define the block between .96 and .111 Unfortunately, after I changed each system to these settings, the network still behaved in the same way. Can I know the pipeline 50 has filters, DHCP, NAT, and other fancy features. Unfortunately, I do not have a manual for the device. Thanks for the help, Doug
Re: Changing IP address
Well,
I have now have the linux system working on my network. I ended up changing
the network
broadcast, and netmask to (XXX.XXX.XXX.0, XXX.XXX.XXX.255, and 255.255.255.0
respectively). I do not know why I had to do this as my network mask was far
more
restrictive 255.255.255.248 with my last ISP. I guess I need to do a little
more studying
on what each of these parameters do.
I do still have a few behavior problems (my network that is :) !
1. My windows 95 system can not see my linux samba server in network
neighborhood (it use
to see it fine). I can type in the link by hand \\linuxsystemid\username to
create the
link. Does anybody know if there is a parameter in samba that relates to
system IP
addresses?
2. My router logs into the internet every time my windoze 95 system powers up
and connects
to the samba servers. I think this has to do with the netmask...
Thanks to everyone who has helped!

Re: Changing IP address
So far I have had a couple of people help and this is what we have come up with.
To change the IP address of a system the following files need to be modified.
/etc/hosts - This was easy to figure out.
/etc/resolv.conf - Just change the DNS servers to the new IP's.
/etc/networks - I am a little confused on this one. My system had a single
line in
this file of:
localnet 204.178.205.224 where the IP address of the linux system was
204.178.205.227
and the pipeline router's IP was 204.178.205.225. How is the number
determined? It
must have been calculated by the install scripts as I do not remember typing it
in.
/etc/init.d/network - Here is where I am having my problems.
I have modified the IPADDR to my new IP address of the linux system.
XXX.XXX.XXX.103
I have left the NETMASK at 255.255.255.248 as it was set before.
I set NETWORK to the IP address of the router minus XXX.XXX.XXX.100 - IS THIS
CORRECT?
I set the BROADCAST to what it was before XXX.XXX.XXX.231 - IS THIS CORRECT?
The GATEWAY is set to XXX.XXX.XXX.101 which is the IP address of my router.
The lines:
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
executes without any errors.
route add -net ${NETWORK}
executes and gives the error SIOCADDR: invalid argument
The last line also gives an error SIOCADDR: Network is unreachable but I
think that
is probably caused by the former error.
Is there anything else we need to change that is not listed above? -or- Does
anyone
have an idea of why this error occurs and what value NETWORK shoud be?
Any ideas on an easier way to get this working? I know during the original
install,
it was much easier to understand and many of these parameters were calculated
by the
script.
Thanks,
Doug

Using linux to protect a DSL connection.
Hello, I am about to get a DSL connection for my home. I have two systems at my house (debian linux system and a windoze 95). Both of these systems are currently connected to a pipeline 50 (ISDN) router and the pipeline will be replaced by a DSL gateway. My ISP will give me two fixed IP addresses so each system will have it's own unique one. I asked the ISP about firewall protection and if I needed to protect my systems. He had some pretty funny stories about customers who came home to an empty paper tray because someone decided to use their printer (network neighborhood) to print a book or two. His suggestion was to use the linux system to protect the win95 system -OR- make absolutely sure the win95 system didn't have any software that allowed outside access loaded onto it. Ok, my little home network uses samba to serve my linux drive to the old win95 system. I also plan to use it for printers as well. Now the question: How should I protect these systems from outside hack attacks? If I add a second network card to the linux system and set it up as a firewall, will I still use the ISP assigned IP address or will it be wasted? What is the best way to configure the Samba services so it isn't a security leak via the gateway? What else should I think / worry about? Thanks in advance for your time! Doug Thistlethwaite
Which network card to buy
Hello, I am setting up a Debian system as a firewall so I will need to buy a network cards. Which network cards have you had good luck with? What should I look for and stay away from? In looking in a catalog I have seen network cards from Intel, 3COM, SMC, Allied Telesyn, NetGear, and Samsung. Are there any mfg's I should stay away from? the system I am going to use has a built-in network card on the motherboard. This is a DELL Pent 133 system we purchased a few years ago. I have one free PCI slot on this computer, so I have two choices. 1. But 1 PCI card and use the motherboard network card. 2. Buy 2 ISA cards and just ignore the motherboard network card. Which option would be the easiest to install? Thanks, Doug Thistlethwaite
Linux system as a firewall
Hello all, My company is looking to changing from an dial-up ISDN connection to a full time DSL connection. In doing this, it has been recommended that we use a linux system with two network cards as a firewall from our internal systems. What packages should I load (or not load) to give us good protection from outside problems. I have been using a linux system at home and this will be the first use of linux at our company (a good start). It looks like they will give me a Pent 133 system with 32MB RAM and 1GB SCSI disk for use. Are there any special problems with doing this that I need to be aware of? What docs and FAQ's should I read before I get started? Thanks in advance! Doug Thistlethwaite
Setting up Sound
Hello, Well, I finally got some noise out of my SB16 compatible sound card! A special thanks to everyone who helped! I finally got it working by using pnpdump to configure my PNP card, and I upgraded to the 2.0.36 kernel and used make xconfig following the Instructions in the CMI8330 Mini-Howto... I compiled my sound as a module. I can now use freeamp and play mp3 files. They sound pretty good. NOW THE PROBLEM: Question #1: I installed the rvplayer using the .deb file in slink and the sound from it is all static. I tried playing the file that is in the /usr/doc/rvplayer/examples directory and it can be heard, but there is some strange static. All links to the internet (radio stations) I tried were complete static! Even the realaudio site where it does its demo thing. Does anyone know how to get the rvplayer to work? Question #2: My sound card has SB16 compatible mode, WSS mode, and a MPU-401 mode. I have base I/O addresses irq's and dma setting for each of these that are setup in the isapnp.conf file. for the MPU-401 stuff, I had conflicting information on what to add into the sound configuration,I had some instructions saying to set the IRQ to -1 and other instructions to set it to 9 as my isapnp.conf file show it. I have tried it both ways and everything seems to work the same. Does anyone know how this should be set up? Thanks, Doug Thistlethwaite

Gain 100karma points! :) I am also pure in this regard ;), so I've had to figure out getting these settings without DOS: You want isapnptools (section base) (and possibly pciutils (section admin)). As root, run pnpdump -c foo look at foo; this should contain all the settings you want. If it is a PCI card and the above doesn't work, then try lspci -vv bar In either case, having set up the kernel OK, you'll want to move foo to /etc/isapnp.conf; this will run the script you created earlier at boot-up (and initialise the card to those settings). It's also worth looking at Documentation/sound in your linux source tree, and using the latest kernel (2.2.1) HTH, Matthew p.s a few notes on recompiling your kernel. I prefer menuconfig to xconfig (YYMV though).

Unfortunately it is a PNP card and I do not have windoze on the system to get the port numbers from. In that case, you need isapnp and pnpdump. The latter gives you an initial file to work from, you just need to decide what IRQ etc you want - anything the card will take that's not already listed in /proc/interrupts One problem with the output is that it intermingles comment-comments with comments that you should uncomment.

The vendor for the card is SoundPro according to the 3x5 single page instruction manual that came with it... :) After this, it says it multiple choice time. Am I suppose to just guess and uncomment one line in each section? My system has a network card, scsi card, and sound card on the ISA bus, the video card on the PCI bus. Will my changing things here mess with my network card (which is working fine) or the scsi card (not currently in use, but I want to connect my zip drive there in the future. So you check /proc/interrupts, and find that it doesn't list 5 (of the numbers given by pnpdump). So you change the last line to: (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E))) Note the lack of the # at the beginning of the line, and the 5. my /proc/interrupts file has the following: 0: 14634451 timer 1: 11960 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 3: 386964 NE2000 4: 164528 + serial 8: 0: 14634451 timer 1: 11960 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 3: 386964 NE2000 4: 164528 + serial 8: 2 + rtc 13: 1 math error 14: 47173 + ide0 15: 30081 + ide1 2 + rtc 13: 1 math error 14: 47173 + ide0 15: 30081 + ide1 So what about all of the IO BASE 0x0388 type stuff? Are there seperate PNP setting for each function of the sound card? If so, which ones do I need to setup if I only want to play sound and not record any? As for my kernel, when I tried to make it, it asked me a ton of questions and didn't seem to have any defaults in it at all. It does have defaults, but once you've been through it once, it uses your previous answers as defaults. To get a fresh start, move the file .config somewhere else. I think that should do the trick.

Just make sure you answer 'n' if you don't have the corresponding hardware. You don't need drivers for XT hard disks, Appletalk or IDE tape drives unless you have those things. Remember that if the new kernel doesn't recognise something, you can easily go back and add it in - once you've compiled the kernel once, compiling it again is easy.

Installing Sound Card
Hello, I'm looking for someone who would help walk me through the process of installing my sound card on my 2.0.33 kernel system. I have read the howto's and such and I am totally confused! My attempt to generate a kernel resulted in a 1.6MB monstrosity that is to big to run... I have been playing with this on and off for 4 months... My system is a P166 64MB system running the current debian release. The sound card os a SoundPro Soundblaster/PRO compatible card that has absolutely no marking on it. The chip it uses is a SoundPro HT1869V+ (F30446) 9729. Thanks a million! Doug
Re: Netscape woes...
Ok, I removed the .netscape directory and now the script in /usr/bin/X11/netscape works fine. (This seems to start v4.05) This is when I get the Aborted. error message.

standard HAMM connecting on its own to internet?
Hello, I am having a strange problem with my recently upgraded BO -- HAMM system. I have a router (pipeline 50) connected to a very small network (2 machines). I have noticed that my ISDN line has been active when no one is using the computers at all. Is there something in the standard (just upgraded) HAMM release that would periodically connect to the internet by itself?

Re: Installing XFSTT on HAMM
Thanks for the tips! I got the package and it seemed to install just fine by following your instructions. I think the easiest order would be to move the fonts first before the install. (I ran the install script twice after it got angry about the fonts...) If the fonts are there, the install script does everything. Do you (or anyone else) know how much overhead (if any) a bunch of fonts have on the system (besides their storage space). I ended up moving 330 ttf files from my win 95 disk.

Re: Installing XFSTT on HAMM
Thanks for the insight everyone!
I take it that the slink version doesn't require any library changes to work
(like
some of the stuff post BO upgrade. (I just upgraded last week so I have not
figured everything - or much of anything - out yet :).
I have always used the version of programs that are included in the current
release. Can I use dselect to load/install the slink version? I think I saw
something about dselect being replaced in slink... Let me know if there is
anything special I need to do to install it. Without any alternate directions,
I
would use dselect to remove xfstt (hamm version) and them use dselect to find
load the slink version.

You might be better off installing the
more up-to-date package in slink, which more-or-less takes care of
everything for you. Anyway, here's a brief description of what you need
to do:
1. Put all your .ttf fonts into /var/ttfonts.
I just want to note...that in the latest slink version This has changed
(just a fore-warning)
So if I load the slink version do I need to do this or is the font directory
changed for this release. I assume the .ttf files are binary so I will need to
transfer them as such.
2. Create an xfstt startup script in /etc/init.d and corresponding
symlinks in /etc/rc?.d.
make the script named xfstt the do
update-rc.d xfstt defaults
to make the sym links
3. Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config so that it has 'FontPath unix/:7100'
in Section Files.
The hardest part is step 2, but the latest package in slink should take
care of that for you.
sigh yes...most of th emost recent bug reports were for that damned init.d
scriptI have included the CURRENT init.d script below for any hamm users
who want it...this is the on eused in slink
NOTE you will need to change XF86Config to use the line
Fontpath unix/:7101
OR edit this script (port 7101 is PREFERED since it does NOT conflict with
xfs )
So bottom line is I should:1. Load the slink package.
2. Copy my .ttf files to the font directory/var/ttfonts
3. Move the xfstt script below to my /etc/inet.d directory.
4. Edit my XF86Config file to include Fontpath unix/:7101 ... Do I need to
remove the other Font Stuff already in the file?
I will give this a try tonight when I get home. Please let me know if I need to
do anything special I missed above.
Thanks for all of the help!

Hello, I have a recently upgraded 2.0 system (from an bo install). Today I tried to mount a cd, but with no luck.

Installing XFSTT on HAMM
Ok, I give up! Soameone hid the docs and I can't find them! :) I have been trying to dig up information on installing XFSTT on my upgraded HAMM system so my Netscape will look better. I downloaded the relavent dpkgs and everything seemed in install correctly. I looked in the DOC's area and there isn't much in the way of help to tell me what to do. Does anyone know of a set of instructions on installing XFSTT that they could send me? My main (probably only) goal for using it is to make Netscape easier to read on my little monitor. I saw some stuff saying that I would need to move some TT fonts from my Windoze systems to the Liinux, but I dodn't see anything that told me exactly want to move and where to move it. I did see some threads in the archives relating to versions of XFSTT. Basically, have have a stock HAMM system that was upgraded from a BO system. Thanks, Doug

GCC lib troubles after HAMM upgrade
Hello all, Well, I seem to be having more problems then I expected after upgrading to hamm. This is probably someting simple except I can't seem to figure out where to start looking. I have a MUD which I have successfully compiled on my pre-upgraded bo system as well as some redhat erven other hamm systems! I get the following message during the link phase: /home/src/interpreter.c:851: undefined reference to `crypt' (In several places) The crypt function is defined in unistd.h which I have included (thus no compile time error). Does this problem have something to do with the new libraries? Anyone have an ideas? This code has compiled on other HAMM systems I have worked on... Thanks, Doug
Re: Changing number of colors of XServer
Thanks for the information, How does the XServer know WHICH Screen section to use? I notice that my file has several sections labled like this. Thanks, Doug (Ted Harding) wrote: On 08-Aug-98 Doug Thistlethwaite wrote: My XServer is currently configured to sue 256 colors. (8 bits). I have noticed that when I start netscape I get messages telling me it can't allocate a larger color map. I figured that if I increased the number of colors, this problem would go away. How do I change the number of colors on my display? In theory, you figure right. Netscape is colour-hungry and 256 colours is not enough if you have other colour-intensive applications running. (You can start netscape with the -install option to use a private colormap, but this has other side-effects: try netscape -install to see if you can live with it; if so, this is a fix for your immediate problem). Also in theory, changing the number of colours (colordepth) in X is straightforward. You can simply edit the appropriate part of /etc/XF86Config; all the necessary keywords are exemplified in the following: Section Screen Driver Accel Device Primary Card Monitor Primary Monitor DefaultColorDepth 32 SubSection Display Depth8 Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection SubSection Display Depth15 Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection SubSection Display Depth16 Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection SubSection Display Depth24 Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection SubSection Display Depth32 Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubSection EndSection Alternatively, run the utility which sets up X: most modern X-configurators offer the choice of colour depths and default depth. HOWEVER: In practice it gets more complicated, in that your video card has to be able to cope with the colour depth and resolution you request, and even if it can cope it may only do so if you also set certain special options in the card-specific XF86Config section. These options may depend not only on the generic card model but also on who manufactured it, i.e. different clones may require different setups. You have to experiment and read the card info in the XF86 documentation (look under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc). That being said, the main factor is the Video RAM on the card. The rule is (Horizontal resolution)x(Vertical resolution)x(Bytes for colour depth) bytes of RAM _minimum_. (Bytes for colour depth) is, of course, 1 for 8bpp (256 colours), 2 for 16bpp (65536 colours), and 3 for 24bpp. Paradoxically, 32bpp is often implemented as a packed 24bpp and may only need 3 bytes per pixel, i.e. you may be able to get 1280x1024x32bpp with a 4MB card, even though it looks as though you need 5MB. One complication here is that some cards insist on using half the video RAM as a frame buffer in which case you may not get what you might think you could get. Since X allows a larger Virtual screen than appears on the monitor, you should use the Virtual dimensions in the above calculation if relevant. The main symptom of a card not being able to cope with the colour depth you request is either a lot of fuzzy twinkling garbage, or else the screen image being broken up and variously wrapped round (horizontally and/or vertically). Hope this helps, and I hope it actually proves straightforward! Ted.

Advice on a new system
Hello everyone, I am going to help one of the engineers at my company to build a personal system. He has expressed interest in learning about linux and would like to have a system that will dual boot in both windows 98 and linux. I have read several messages on this list talking about problems with windoze messing with linux partitions. We are planning to assemble the PC from parts so we can purchase specific items if needed. The current plans are for a K6-II 300MHz system with fast wide SCSI disks. I am thinking of installing two drives (one for linux and the other for windoze). I would like to make this system very easy for the engineer to boot into either OS. My questions are: 1. What procedure and order should I follow in installing the two OS'es. 2. Recommendations on FW SCSI adapters? 3. We are going to want to add a CD-R drive to this system. Should we look for a SCSI device or use the on-board IDE interface? Does the operation of IDE devices compromise the access speed of SCSI devices? Thanks! Doug -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

The long answer is see http://www.ibbnet.nl/~anne/keyboard.html;. The short answer is to use readline's inputrc config to control BS/Delete behavior at the bash shell command line. Use Netscape resources (in Xresources) to control BS/Delete behavior in Netscape (see the Netscape.ad file in Netscape's dir). Thanks for the info. My keyboard in netscape seems to be working fine... I have no idea why sense I didn't change anything yet... Ah, computers! Doug -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Building Kernel for Sound
Hello, I have a soundblaster card I wanted to get working under my bo system. My system is currently running 2.0.33 so I downloaded the source so I could make a version with the sound blaster support. Here is what I did 1. make menuconfig - go through list and remove all the stuff that sounds like I don't need it. 2. make dep 3. make clean 4. make zImage - This errors out because of the kernel size. 5. make gzImage - Readme file says to do this if above didn't work 6. make modules 7. make modules_install 8. copy new kernel to /boot and make symbolic link to /linuz 9. run sbin/lilo - This errors out saying the kernel is to big! The kernel size is about 1.4M where the one I downloaded during my initial install is only ~600K. Why is mine so much bigger? The last try I gutted everything that didn't seem to be required... Am I doing anything wrong in my process above? Thanks, Doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Building Kernel for Sound
Ok, I have the right package now. I looked at the make-kpkg man file and its a lot more complicated then I had hoped :) I ran make-kpkg and it just made the files again as I had before. I probably changed a ton of things in the .config file while I was messing things up with the stuff I was doing before. What is the easiest way for me to take the kernel I am currently using (the default one) and add the soundblaster support. Or if there isn't an easy way, what order of steps should I use to make a kernel? thanks again! Doug G. Kapetanios wrote: Try the make-kpkg package.

Re: Installing X-Windows?
I just finished installing my X on a new system. I assume you are using the 1.3 release of linux (bo). I used dselect to install the system. It took me 3 tries to get it right (I'm new to using the Debian so maybe I'm doing something wrong... but it seemed that if you just pick all of the packages you want at once, the install in the wrong order and give you strange error messages. What seemed to work best was. #1 Dig up everything you know about your monitor and video card. (Horz Vert Scan freq. of monitor, video card mfg, type, chipset,...) I ended up looking on the web for the monitor mfg and printing out the specs for the monitor. As for the video card, I looked at it physically and wrote down all of the numbers printer on the board. These turned out to be helpful when asked what chipset it was using. #2 Select the base package and a server using dselect (I don't have my system here so you will have to look up the exact names in the descriptions). There are several choices of servers that will depend on your video card. I chose the S3 accelerated server because of the card I had. Install there packages (and any required dependencies if dselect flags them). #3 Go back and select the fonts, manuals, window managers, etc. that you want to use. I found that if I tried to install the window manager at the same time as the base pkg, the WM loaded first and didn't find the required files from the base pkg. I'm sure that this can be solved by changing the order of the dselect loading, but I found it easier to just run select twice. #4 You will need to run the config script for your server. (Its called XF86Setup I think) It creates the XF86Config file that tells your server what to do. It will ask you a ton of questions that have to do with your video card, monitor, mouse, ... Well, I hope this helps... I'm pretty new at all of this, but the above worked for me!

X11 HELP!
Hello help! I hope someone can help me with this problem that is getting worse and worse... I tired to install fvwm95 and all I got was a plain login screen that would log into a plain window with a single xterm. I tried to remvoe the window manager and install another using dserver... Now I CAN NOT LOGIN to the computer at all from the console. When I log in I get a colorful flash and another plain login screen. The only way I can connect to the computer is via a telnet. How do I disable the X11 so I can get my console back? Also any tips on getting a WM working would be greatly appriciated! I should have a pretty much generic installation, so I'm somewhat confused to why I am having all of this trouble.

Re: X11 S3 installation
... the docs you will need for x are in /usr/doc/x11... I was not able to find the exact docs you were talking about, but I did find the program that creates XF86Config and X11 seems to work somewhat... Boy that script asked me some questions I had to dig pretty deep to figure out! ... I like fvwm95 to be the manager of choice... I downloaded and installed fvwm95 and installed it using dserver. It did not change the appearance of the window manager very much. I did find a INSTALL readme file that talked about copying files to a source directory and compiling them... Is this required, or was that something left over from a generic unix/linux install distribution? Can you point me in the direction of where I need to look to get the fvwm95 working? What WM is the easiest to install / configure? My X11 wm currently creates an xterm when it starts. Once placed on the screen, it does not let me resize or move it. Is this normal? What is the proper way to shutdown the X11 system when I want to work on my system from the console? I have been changing the init level to 1 to get out of X11, but there must be a better way then this! Thanks! Doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

FYI: Netscape 3.01 archive
I installed Netscape 3.01 last night, and it seems to be working fine. I did have a hard time finding the correct version to download from the Netscape servers. Netscape has moved the old versions of their software to: archive.netscape.com It also appears that this site will not accept anonymous ftp access (I tried 4-5 times before I gave up). I ended up having to connect using a win95 system / netscape and I downloaded the linux file using http. If this is the only way of getting the file, it will be a real pain for new users who do not have other system to fall back on. I am posting this mainly because I saw some questions about installing netscape floating about in the last few days. Doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

S3 video installation.
Hello all, I am working on my second attempt in installing Debian on my PC. (The first try died when I deselected a whole bunch of packages and had dselect delete them... oops :) I have a Pent 166 32MB system with a Diamond Stealth 64 (S3 trio64) dram version display card. This system has been installed off of floppies and I have used dselect to load all of the required suggested packages onto my system (via FTP). I have two basic questions on what I need to do next: 1: Currently I have a 80 col x 24 line generic display (I would guess). Is there a way to have a smaller font and more columns? I have not done anything to tell the system what type of video card I have. 2: What do I need to do to get X11 up and running on my system? Was it installed with the base system, or do I need to load optional packages? I did find and load a S3 trio64 X11 server. Are there any docs on setting up configuring X11? Finally, I know there are several windows managers around. Which one seems to be in use the most on these types of systems?
